“ Always in life an idea starts small, it is only a sapling idea, but the vines will come and they will try to choke your idea so it cannot grow and it will die and you will never know you had a big idea, an idea so big it could have grown thirty meters through the dark canopy of leaves and touched the face of the sky.’ He looked at me and continued. ‘The vines are people who are afraid of originality, of new thinking. Most people you encounter will be vines; when you are a young plant they are very dangerous.’ His piercing blue eyes looked into mine.’ Always listen to yourself, Peekay. It is better to be wrong than simply to follow convention. If you are wrong, no matter, you have learned something and you grow stronger. If you are right, you have taken another step toward a fulfilling life. ”

Grumpy Pants

I have my grumpy pants on.

I’m on the end of two short shifts in a row at work, (3.25 and 3 hours) on a Friday and Saturday night, when I have bills coming out of my every orifice, and just have a general distaste for life at this juncture.

The only way I can think of to describe it is I feel like I’m treading water.  But there is no possible way to stop, if I do, I’ll drown.  So I just plod along, keep on plodding along.

Actually it’s like a disgust sort of at the moment.  A fed up.  An “enough!”

The good thing is that my mother stuffs self help paraphernalia in my hands, so sometime I’ve read Jim Rohn’s “Four Emotions that can Lead to Life Change” and know that the emotion that follows “disgust” is “decision”.

“Decision” better come soon or it’ll be “demolition”.

Women's Magazines

I won a free three month subscription to a popular women’s magazine.  I’ve just recieved my second copy.  It really is such rubbish.

If you just stopped for a minute to think about what you were devouring you would discover a world of sheer lies, misrepresentation, airbrushes and fairytales.

Is it any wonder women have unrealistic expectations?

Dear Ash;

In answer to your question via text message, although I’m sure the moment of relevance has passed, since you were, at the time, invovled in a pub quiz- Your question: What are the four horcruxes?

  1. I find a problem with the question in the first place because there aren’t four, there are seven.
  2. No matter, I will answer your question and link you to the Harry Potter Wiki.

Here they are:

  1. Tom Riddle’s Diary
  2. Marvolo Gaunt’s Ring
  3. Slytherin’s Locket
  4. Hufflepuff’s Cup
  5. Ravenclaw’s Diadem
  6. Harry Potter himself
  7. Voldemort’s snake Nagini

So there you are, consider yourself education. Although for the detailed list which includes location/who destroyed it etc consider the Wiki here

What is this?

I spent close to what, 5 hours? After the last movie trying to get you to tell me what they were; and now; after a simple text message, you relay them all to Ash.

Unloved.

At least I know now though; told you I’d figure it out without reading the book.

Damn it, Tim!! I completely forgot about this…darn, now the next movie is ruined for you! Please kindly forget.

gompr: ali-with-an-i: First, I ate a bag of vege chips. Now, I’m testing these Tim Tams. And I must say. They sure measure up! I heard about Tim Tams from Fig Jam (the song). Now I want some. I need to move to Australia or at least visit. Yes, come visit when Ash gets back from the Mother Country. We will make you Tim Tam Slams :-) And because we are in South Australia you get to sample another fine chocolate invention called the Menz Fruchoc. I don’t even know if Ash likes them, but I do, and I will take you to the factory!!

Joshua Jackson = Pacey Witter

I cannot watch Josh Jackson in anything other than Dawson’s Creek. I cannot seperate him from the lovable mischevious Pacey.

Check out these HORRIBLE badges I got for my sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law.  They’re gonna HATE them! Here’s a good thing about Christmas- forcing relatives to wear garish attire!
